                    I have started attempting the daily Star newspaper cryptic, but the setter seems a lot less technical than you. Often the clues are not 'enoded' as yours are, but simply obscure clues, like "Backing raised during game (7)" is "support"; or "Thrown from plane and tossed on tides (10)" is "jettisoned".

                        How so? OK, you don't see stars during the day, but that's only very tentatively relevant.

                          I had the Daily Star down as more of a red-top rag full of gossip than a newspaper, but maybe I'm maligning a fine, upstanding member of the British press.

                              Nope. You are right with the gossip rag bit.

                                  I deliberately used all lower case for the word "daily", excluding it from the newspaper's name. The Star[^] is a high quality South African daily newspaper.

                                          From 'Yes Prime Minister'... Hacker: "Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; The Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is." Sir Humphrey: "Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?" Bernard: "Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits."
